AHHH-HAHA! are hardly the words I would use to describe one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

reminder they could have ended it anywhere and decided that his was the best moment

Honestly the thing that got most people to hate her was the one thing I agreed with. She had to make a point with her dragons after losing Dorne and the Reach and being suckered into taking Casterly Rock. Burning the Tarly's was the right thing to do and so was burning those Lannister soldiers I was still hoping Jaime would shish kabob her to Drogon at the end though

I would let her poop on me

She's been the best part of this shitty season.

Yes killed off screen just like Stannis and Syrio

do you honestly believe d&d would kill a fan favorite like that

>>87007891
He should be, but I doubt he is. Dondarian is definitely not dead. Still hasn't fulfilled his purpose, whatever that is. So Tormund probably survived too.

Bran isn't the internet, he's just a search engine.

Why did thisneed its own thread, redditor?

he's not dr. manhattan you know

I'll assume nobody likes me enough to respond

If i didn't I'd have to assume you haven't ever seen it, and frankly that's unthinkable

I don't even know his name

>>87007842
